👾 Exploit Exists🟡 Public PoC

Summary

The Contact Form & SMTP Plugin for WordPress by PirateForms versions earlier than 2.6.0 does not adequately sanitize and escape certain settings. This lack of proper validation enables high privilege users, like administrators, to execute Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks, compromising security even in configurations where the unfiltered_html capability is restricted, such as in multisite environments.

Affected Version(s)

Contact Form & SMTP Plugin for WordPress by PirateForms 0 < 2.6.0

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)

PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
